Mourinho only has three allies

José Mourinho has fallen out with his players at Real Madrid and right now only three of them have his back: Essien, Diego López and Modric. His relationship with the rest has deteriorated to a greater or lesser degree and none of the parties are hiding that fact.
Then Pepe broke the silence, speaking out in defence of Iker Casillas, who he described as an institution who cannot be blamed in any shape or form for everything that has happened to him. Maybe Pepe deviated from the script laid out by the players, which was to hold back until Mou's future had been clarified.
The players, particularly the captains, want a truce that re-establishes social and sporting harmony at the club. Winning the only title they are still playing for is important, not only for the players' self-esteem, but also so that the club's hierarchy can confirm that they have enough quality in the squad to not warrant a wholesale clearout in the summer.
Amidst the confusion, internal and public reprimands at Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez's intervention was crucial. With only 12 days left until the Spanish Cup final, the club's president isn't going to put up with any more in-fighting.
